SocietyFringePodcast's podcast

Through this podcast SFP is creating an extended universe through the use of guitar based pop songs. The tale is both episodic and serial. As of the COVID lock down the SFPeeniverse consisted of 7 Broadway style musicals. This is ambitious stuff. The conceit is that an '84 Chevy El Camino acts as a TARDIS catalyst connecting the characters to unlimited story telling opportunities.

Christmas means togetherness and love and joy

Happiness and presents for the girls and boys

Old folks come together and then reminisce

Stand beneath that mistletoe and get a kiss

Love your friends and kin

When Christmas comes again

Shout out to the homeless in America

The starving out in Asia and in Africa

Embrace all of the faiths that would love to kill me

The majority of folk through time just weren't free

So go remember them

When Christmas comes again

Make sure that you bring your love at Christmastime

People come and go but love is all the time

People they pass on but their love still exists

So let that love inside your heart and reminisce

Love brings love, my friend

When Christmas comes again.

Dec 17, 2018

In ancient times a giant eagle sputtered freely sea to sea

His claws could rip a mountain clean his eyes shot fire when the air was free

His wingspan birthed ten hurricanes he sculpted much of this here land

His greatest triumph was a birth a man I just call "Abraham"

-------

Abraham he sired a nation and "freedom" was their guiding word

Their skin was red their feathers worn in honor of the ancestral bird

Then caucasoids they floated west, set forth, destroyed the Eagle's land

They threw litter on the side of the road a tear did stain old Abraham's cheek

-------

Then one day on the reservation the Army tapped old Abraham

His two sons sucking mother's milk they sent him off to Vietnam

Friendly fire it took his life there was nothing left to see

Except five toes and an ankle, man, hence the name of "redfoot" came to be

-------

Momma Redfoot died of grief Redfoot boys played hoops and all

Drank their whiskey, drank it neat, two young men with a basketball

Then one Redfoot brother took the other's girl drove to New York and left her there

The other brother joined the FBI but they didn't make him cut his hair

Now you know it you seen it all a story old as euro myths

In the spirit world Abraham sighs he says "D'IH!"

Spending time with a rented soul

My body tells me which way to flow

Billy's trail seems to lead to Seoul

Or maybe China, baby, I don't know

Hong Kong Plane

There's that Billy Redfoot piece of trash

That Indian chump and his stripper gash

Ooh, baby, this is going to be cool

My golden bullet's formed from angel's drool

Hong Kong Plane

 I've always hated my Indian roots

So with the government I'm in cahoots

Johnny Redfoot is my given name

I watched my brother board that Hong Kong Plane

Hong Kong Plane

LEAVE TOWN

 

He'll come looking before long

Heart is beating out of time

He'll come gunning by and by

 It's wide open

 

Don't go down

Just leave town

SHE

 

She had never seen America before, pure America, full of hatred, racism, religious intolerance, endless strip malls, and opportunity.

 

She never learned much at school, maybe how to blow marijuana smoke into a roll of toilet paper in the girl's bathroom. What she did learn had nothing to do with books, teachers, standing in line, none of that shit. What she learned was "always be on guard. If you see an opening do it to them before they do it to you. And when all else fails? Run."

 

When she was a little girl she thought of love as a mystery. When she got a little older she viewed it as a cruel liar. Now it's her life. Sex is sex. Druga are drugs. Eating ain't cheating. And hugs are shrugs. She says "I'm going to ride this palomino 'til I get to the promised land, 'til Jesus as the devil himself opens up her arms to me and says..."

 

"You're finally home."

WEST MEXICO

 

West Mexico just feels so empty to me

Beautiful people sunning themselves

We've smoked up everything in town

We look like walking trash

Makes me and Charlene laugh

I want to fuck her in the sand

I want to fuck her in the sand

I want to fuck her in the sand

We're getting out of here, man

We're off to Asia

 

West Mexico feels a bit sadder to me

Like a barroom brawl in a library

Like a fish stuck up in a tree

Like somebody else's memories

Flashing straight through me

West Mexico seems so selfish to me

It's the edge of life to dreams

It's the edge of life to dreams

It's the edge of life to dreams

It's the edge of life in my dreams

And I see the lions on the shore

Like Poppa and the Old Man had done before

And I wonder "are they starting to roar

Or are they just starting to snore?"

Release me release me release me release me 

 

West Mexico I'm too tired to see

What's surrounding me

What's surrounding me

What's surrounding me

What's surrounding me?

Release me release me release me release me

I'M JOHN WAYNE

 

Bullet wound nothing new

I'm on the trail hot pursuit

That Indian punk that bitch of his

Going to rip their eyes out piss on up inside their skulls

I'm John Wayne

Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill

I must inflict inflict my pain

Got my hands got my mind

Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill

All the time

I'm John Wayne

A REAR VIEW MIRROR

 

There's a window by a courtyard by a house

It's six hundred and thirty five pieces give or take

It's seen five families pass by

Now it can't reflect of the sky as the night time goes by

 

There's a bible by the window by the courtyard but now it's just ash

By the bible's a safe holding letters, it never held cash

By the safe is a little girl's doll

And the bones of a dog on the prowl

It likes next to the doll

Oo oh

 

There's a football by the doll it's deflated and caked to the earth

Over top of the house is a freeway, a modern world birth

Now last time the house just collapsed

It's usefulness gone now perhaps

Now it's muddy bike tracks

Oo oh
